This time I tried many different kinds and settled on the hazelnut wafers, which is so satisfying ! I know the weather is getting cooler but that wouldn't stop me from wanting their ice cream.

Beautiful gelato spot with tasty gelato!…read more My family and I sampled a few flavors before narrowing down our choices. I ordered the chocolate raspberry, which was delicious. My family also enjoyed the pistachio and strawberry gelato. While we weren't fans of all the flavors we tried, I'd definitely return for a cup of the ones we enjoyed the next time I'm in the neighborhood. Perfect way to cool down on a summer day!

It's been a few weeks since I saw the flavor announcement so I was worried they would've already switched to fall flavors or the limited time run for it was over. But they indeed still had the coconut ube and it was very good. I love the self service nature of 16 handles and I love how they often introduce new / seasonal flavors to the mix. The toppings bar is also well stocked with a lot of variety. This store is quite big with plenty of seating options and roomy enough for many groups to go and get their yogurt at once.

I can tell they use high quality ingredients -- not flavoring. I think this place is underrated and better than popular places like Anita Gelato or even Van Lewen. It's also rare to see an ice cream shop offer Asian flavors. If you're thinking of trying it, please do. You won't regret it.

I like the concept of getting a chance to sample a few flavors before picking the ones I want. In the end I went with pistachio, it was rich and full of pistachio flavor unlike most places. There was a decently sized line and there aren't any dine in seats that I could see, but a nice grab and go spot for the summer.

I was hesitant at first because, honestly, I thought this was just a candy store. I'm so glad I…read moredecided to give it a try! They have a great selection of both candy and ice cream, with lots of fun ways to customize your treat. When you walk up to the door, you'll be greeted by a friendly gentleman who takes your order (I forgot his name). If you stop by, be sure to compliment his bowling shirt. he's had it for over 16 years and takes incredible pride in keeping it looking great. It was such a fun conversation and really showed his personality. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely enjoys interacting with people. You can tell he takes pride not only in his shop but also in providing outstanding customer service. Great treats, great atmosphere, and even better service. I'll definitely be back!

I have been to this old-school ice cream parlor a small handful of times. The first time, I was…read morewith a group that walked a good 9 miles or so and stopped at a bunch of places on both the Upper West and the Upper East Side, from local favorites to chains. The other time, I happened to be in the area and was in the mood for their ice cream again. The inside is tiny, but they make do with the space, and the guy working there was friendly both times. I would describe the ice cream as thick and creamy, reminding me of a much better version of Hershey's or Carvel or something similar, more like some local spots back home. Of the few flavors I've tried, along with some samples from others, my favorite flavor here is the Graham Central Station. This is a graham ice cream base with crunchy graham cracker swirl and chocolate-covered honeycomb candies. From the description, it sounds like it would be overly sweet, but it isn't. The mix of crackers and candies adds a nice crunch. The Toasted Coconut is also pretty tasty. It isn't overly sweet either, with plenty of coconut flavor. I liked it as well. This spot doesn't have the most unique flavors, but they do well with what I've tried.

An Upper East Side staple! I've never been upset with any flavor I've chosen here, honestly. They…read morehave an incredibly expansive menu AND just a note that they have some additional flavors beyond what's in the showcase typically - like mint chocolate chip and some of the liquor/wine flavors! Their sprinkle-and-chocolate laden cones are delightful. My only complaint would be that the shop is kinda small so it's more of a pickup and go kind of place - so keep that in mind if you're looking for a sit-down situation.

I decided to get the Hojicha (roasted green tea) flavor today, and it was absolutely delicious. I love hojicha, it's my favorite Japanese tea because of its deep, roasted flavor, and it paired perfectly with the creamy richness of the ice cream. The flavor was smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet. A single scoop was the perfect amount for me and really hit the spot! Definitely a great place to cool down and treat yourself on a hot day.

Pinkberry is the OG for tart frozen yogurt and IMO is still the best. It's been a minute since I've…read morehad their frozen yogurt and it's just as good as I remember. The lady at the counter was very nice and let us sample as many flavors as we wanted. I ended up getting the pomegranate and original tart and it was delicious!

This review is purely biased based by my nostalgic love of Pinkberry…read more At the beginning of the Froyo craze, I used to get the original tart at a local Pinkberry at least once a week. After the hype faded out in the 2010s, I thought I'd never see another Pinkberry again. Imagine my surprise when I saw this place across the street from where I was dining with a couple of friends. It was inevitable that I'd make a beeline for it right after my dinner. As usual, I got the original tart with my favorite mix-ins: a scoop of melted chocolate crunch, cheesecake bites, mochi, strawberry, kiwi, and blueberries. The froyo wasn't as creamy as what I was used to, but it was still really good and satisfying to my craving. Similar to most Pinkberries, the shop itself was a bit small in space, so it's more fitting for a quick visit. Too bad I don't live in NYC, otherwise I'd definitely hit up this spot (and the other Pinkberry shops) a lot more often!

This is my fourth time at Yogurt Club, and their monthly special flavors just keep getting better…read more Compared to the other viral froyo spots in NYC, I love that Yogurt Club leans into more Asian-inspired flavors. This month they're serving both mango sticky rice frozen yogurt AND dry greek yogurt, and they don't skimp on the juicy mangoes or coconut sticky rice at all! ＊Mango Sticky Rice Frozen Yogurt $13.49 (S), $15.49 (M) I loved how tart and refreshing the mango froyo is. The coconut sticky rice isn't as sweet, so it pairs perfectly with the juicy mangoes. This is my favorite flavor they've launched so far. ＊Mango Sticky Rice Greek Yogurt $13.99 (S), $15.99 (M) I'm a huge fan of their dry greek yogurt--it's thick but still very creamy. It definitely has more than enough mango puree and condensed milk to make the greek yogurt less "dry" if you aren't into dry yogurt. Paired with the sticky rice, it honestly feels more like a meal than a dessert.
